Wisdom tooth is erupting between age of 17-25 yrs.
You might get pain in ear throat and head. Hence it's normal.
Do warm salt water gargle.
Do a good brushing at the area where gum inflammed. You might get pain and bleeding during brushing at that area it's normal.
Wait for 3 to 5 days it will subside.

Not all wisdom teeth erupt completely in the mouth. Considering your pain and swelling it is wise to consult an oral & Maxillofacial surgeon in your city who will then remove them. An OPG X-ray showing the wisdom tooth would help in diagnosis.
Next Steps
OPG X-ray , warm salt water rinses 3-4 times a day. Consult an Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon at the earliest
